Really funny to listen to the audio book-- Tina Fey reads it.
Very fast read. I didn't laugh as much as I was expecting to, and there was a lot of stuff that wasn't super interesting to me. What I did really like, as someone who freakin loves television, was the insights into the working/writing environment at 30 Rock. I was thrilled that Donald Glover wrote my very favorite exchange of the series.

loved that this book sounded just like I expected Tina Fey (and Liz Lemon) to sound. Such an authentic voice. Tina Fey is a freaking crack-up.
I LOVED this book so much! I so enjoyed giggling and tittering my way through it! Tina Fey is so down-to-earth and relatable. This book is mostly about her career and how that intersects with her personal life. She's very much a feminist, but she also knows how to pick her battles and when to call bullshit. She really tells it like it is! Go Tina Fey!!!

This wasn't at the top of my reading list, but wound up with a nook for a week with this already loaded on it. I'm glad I read it. There were many laugh out loud moments, but the reason I would (and have been) recommending this to my girlfriends is for some of the moments Fey talks about being a woman in charge in a primarily male dominated field. Some of her insights were inspiring.

Fantastic audio book!
What an awesome read. I laughed, I cried, I marveled. Perhaps because we are about the same age, her cultural references from growing up were particularly potent and cringeworthy. She nailed it.
